Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Trigonometric ratios of 30° and 60°

  • In an equilateral triangle, each angle is 60°.
  • If side BC is 2a and AD is drawn perpendicular to BC, then BD = a.
  • In right triangle ABD, AB = 2a, BD = a, and AD = √3·a.
2

2. Trigonometric ratios of 45°

  • A right-angled isosceles triangle has two equal sides AB = BC = a and one right angle of 90°.
  • The remaining two angles are 45° each.
  • Using Pythagoras theorem, AC = √2·a.
3

3. Standard-angle table and variation from 0° to 90°

  • sin 0° = 0 and cos 0° = 1.
  • sin 90° = 1 and cos 90° = 0.
  • tan 90° is not defined.
4

4. Important identities

  • The Pythagorean identity is sin²A + cos²A = 1 for any angle A.
  • The secant-tangent identity is sec²A - tan²A = 1 for any angle A.
  • The cosecant-cotangent identity is cosec²A - cot²A = 1 for any angle A.
